A set of proposed changes to the new ward boundaries the Springfield City Council is considering doesn’t meet legal requirements.

The map could come up for a final vote Tuesday, but the latest development could delay its approval.

The council has to redraw the lines of the city’s 10 wards following each census, and the consent decree that governs how the city operates requires that each ward have roughly the same population. It also requires that one ward have a population composed of at least 60 percent black residents.

County officials drew a map that met those requirements, and Ward 1 Ald. Frank Edwards introduced it in January. Other aldermen then proposed a set of changes they said would make sure neighborhoods weren’t divided among multiple wards.

But swapping voting precincts among wards threw the population totals out of whack.

As required by the consent decree, the goal of the original proposed map was for each ward to have 11,625 residents, plus or minus 5 percent, council coordinator Joe Davis said.

The changes aldermen proposed would have resulted in six wards exceeding that threshold. For example, Ward 1 would have had 9 percent too many residents, and Ward 6 would have had 11 percent too few.

In addition, black residents would have made up less than 60 percent of Ward 2’s population.

Ward 8 Ald. Kris Theilen proposed a three-way precinct swap with Ward 5 Ald. Sam Cahnman and Ward 9 Ald. Steve Dove, but he said he’s dropping that plan after seeing the new population figures.

While it might be possible to split up precincts to make the changes work, Theilen said he’s not interested in doing that.

“Rather than create logistical nightmares for others down the road, we just decided to drop it,” he said.

Ward 2 Ald. Gail Simpson previously stated her support for the map as originally proposed and was unhappy with other aldermen for requesting changes to her boundaries without consulting her.

Cahnman said he would still like to find a way to move a portion of the Enos Park neighborhood roughly between North Grand Avenue and Phillips Street and Seventh and 11th streets from Ward 3 to his ward if possible.

He doesn’t think it’s crucial that the council vote on the map Tuesday, although “the sooner, the better,” he said.

The map has to be approved 90 days before candidates can begin filing nominating petitions for next year’s election. Candidates will be able to start circulating petitions in late August. The filing deadline will be in late November.
